In the US disabled children have the right to go to a public school and be educated, it's a requirement if a school wants federal funding. Sure it's not in the Constitution of the United States, but does it have to be? That map makes no sense at all. platedlizard fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Jul 8, 2013 |

Which, okay, is fair enough in my opinion, but obviously descends into absurdity when you look at the example of Britain in light of this position and how they portray it on those maps. Our consitution is just "the entire body of enacted legislation taken as a whole" so the distinction they make does not exist in the UK. If the criteria for a constitution are:

I believe they also get to check off some boxes about being made in America and at what percentage as well. Supposedly, you can get an "American Made" car having had the materials refined out of the US, shipped to somewhere else to be mostly assembled and then fully assembled in the US. It wouldn't surprise me if part of the cheaper than China factor came from beating tariffs. All this being said, parts probably come from everywhere and the logistics are amazing.

To a certain degree, "Made in X" is getting less and less meaningful as parts can make entire revolutions around the Earth before ending up in the hands of consumers. Apple(an American company) purchases to send to Foxconn(a Taiwanese company) factories in China chips made by Samsung(a Korean company) in a facility in Texas.

It's probably low interest in football (Panthers suck) coupled with Pittsburg and Dallas being big "export teams." Dallas is "America's Team." Both teams also had years in the past when they were doing well, it wouldn't surprise me if those who grew up during the Pittsburg early 80s dynasty became big fans and passed it on to their kids. You may find in a decade or two that those who have gotten into football over the past few years have higher rates of Patriots fans because they've done so well over the last decade or so.

The only final assembly done by Japanese automakers in China is for vehicles to be sold in China. The big trend in recent years by the Big Three in Japan is localized development, production, and marketing, which reduces costs in the long term by reduced labor and logistics costs, as well as the benefits of developing products targeted for the local environmental regulations right from the concept stage. Parts are sourced from all over the place, though more and more from Thailand, India, and Indonesia. The thinking behind this strategy is that it will end up being more profitable to localize everything that can be localized than take a top down approach that will result in massively overspeccing for certain low cost markets, making the product unaffordable due to the high aggregate costs of the technologies necessary to meet the most stringent environmental standards. A salient point is that this is rather unethical in terms of environmental impact, as is intentionally building to lower safety standards.

Florida is such a patchwork of team loyalties because of all the retirees and transplants living there. There was probably such a variety of responses to that survey that one team ended up with just a slight plurality of votes.

A lot of European countries repealed it for just that reason, and the main reason why the US still has it is that it is in our Constitution. If it wasn't, you could bet that the far-right would be pushing to repeal it as quickly as possible.

Those colonies had native civilizations that survived relatively intact and then forced out the European countries during decolonization, as opposed to the Americas where all the natives died. In other words the cultural identity of the USA and to a lesser extent South America is basically Europeans who were no longer members of actual European societies and who created new national identities, while that of Asia is still Chinese people living in China, or Indians in India.

Vegetable posted:Why haven't the Asian and African former colonies done the same jus soli thing though? I don't think the map shows all that much except Americans are ballers for birthright citizenship. Colonization in Africa and Asia didn't result in mass immigration or genocide, like it did in the New World. (Algeria is one notable exception, but the vast majority of the pieds-noirs left in 1962, with independence.) (Edit: okay, genocide, yes, but not to the extent it did in North America especially.) The Westphalian model of nation-states prevalent in Europe is based on ethnicity. This model made no sense in the New World. TheImmigrant fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Jul 9, 2013 |
